magpie1892 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Riviere gets a million quid a year. There's something deeply wrong with that. One example from thousands. Most people know the story of Seth Johnson and Leeds United when that lunatic Peter 'we lived the dream' Ridsdale was chairman. Story goes - and I've heard it first hand from when I used to pal about with Ian Harte when working in Leeds - thus (and remember, this was 15 years ago): Johnson's at Derby, LUFC want him, agree fee with DCFC so Johnson and agent head for Elland Road looking for personal terms. Johnson was on £5k/wk at DCFC and as they're going up to the stadium, he's asking his agent what he reckons he can get him weekly. Agent replies: 'I reckon they'll go to £20k'. Johnson, delighted, replies: 'seriously? a million quid a year?' Agent says he'll do his best as it's in both their interests. So the two of them are shown into Ridsdale's office and before either Johnson and his agent have even said 'good morning', the man himself stands up and slaps his palms hard on his big, oak desk and says to the two of them: 'Right, if you think we're paying more than £35k a week you can just turn around and go back the way you came'... Ridsdale's PA caught Johnson and agent pissing themselves laughing as they left the stadium. And smiled wearily at them. I heard it was something along the lines that Risdale offered £35k, much to the surprise of Johnson and his agent, but their reply was something like... "we were thinking of something around £37k actually...". And the deal was done. I think he ended up with £36k. I wonder who taught Ridsdale to play cards?

Dinho lad Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I first saw him play way back when he was a teenager/early 20’s for Saint Etienne. I said to myself that this guy is the perfect candidate to be French football’s own Shola Ameobi. My word, how wrong was I. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
